History

Bone dry fino sherry provides mineral notes, enhanced by elderflower and balanced by sour lemon.

Adapted from a 2008 creation by Hayden Lambert at the Merchant Hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland, this cocktail was later entered into a competition by Hayden as the Pomp & Glory cocktail. The balance of this drink is delicate, and the choice of fino and the acidity of the lemons can significantly alter the final taste, potentially requiring adjustments to the proportions. Hayden's original recipe specifies: 35 ml Pennyweight fino 25 ml St Germain Elderflower liqueur 7.5 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 dash orange bitters
